| Odd take, the stale dialogue and static quests of most rpgs could certainly benefit from llm enhancements |

| I think the staleness comes from the fact that it’s the 60 billionth time you’ve done some “quest” to go gather some crap up or kill the same thing in a loop for an hour. No amount of dialogue is going to save that. The actual story dialogue is usually interesting enough already |

| Nah, they’ll still be stale. Many people play RPGs that haven’t changed in 30 years, so static isn’t an issue either. |

| ▲ | krainboltgreene 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It’s so funny to reference a game that has like 12 editions and is on every platform including a refrigerator and think “this game is missing something” By the way there are LLM dialog mods for Skyrim and everyone thinks they’re a joke because they suck. | | | |
| ▲ | nottorp 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | However, no one has ever praised the Elder Scrolls storyline. They win by the sheer quantity and by giving you a lot of subsystems to play with. So LLM generated quest text probably feels it belongs here. It wouldn't, for example, in something with the Witcher 3 story quality. | | |

| Quality writing is what is most important in an RPG, something that LLMs are distinctly terrible at. |
